How to Farm with `Bio-logic´

An article recently appeared on news24.com discussing how pioneering viticulturalist Johnathan Grieve uses ducks, wasps and beetles instead of chemical pestisides on his farm Avondale.

He said: "I find that making use of these natural predators works much more effectively, and is a lot cheaper.He has also cut back on fertilisers by planting legumes and cereals as "cover crops" among the vines to provide natural compost and bind nitrogen from the air into the soil. The plants also suppress weeds and keep the soil moist.

I read an article lately in the October, 2006 Economist about international wine trade and what consumers are after. It turns out old French wine, requiring a masters in vinology and a bank account to fit it, is not what “we” youngsters want. Wine shouldn’t be complicated, neither the process in which it’s created. We’ve been making wine for 5000 years, what’s changed? Firstly, a drinkable timeline on the bottle label of a California Pinot is OK and secondly, knowing what to eat with it can really make life easy and fun. As a result, more sales…We all know chemicals are destructive and need to keep up the pressure to preserve our Environment, everyone wins.

To the author of a blog … I Read your blog rather recently. That it would be desirable to note … (do not think that with what that I reproach or I try to give advice) laconic enough design, anything superfluous I would tell))) your subjects are close to me, and it pleases. But why do not write the opinion on the events occurring in the world, in respect of events international for example?? I understand, that “news suffice”, but sometimes it would be desirable to learn opinion of the usual person, so to say - an independent sight, to compare it to the opinion. And so … Write even more often, even more, and even more interestingly. Thanks!
